Even if I really wanted to, I couldn't care less about this topic anymore when it comes to Belfort or any fighter for that matter. If they get the exemption, good on them, if they don't, what ever. If Sergio Pettis qualified for and got an exemption for TRT, awesome. WHATEVER.

So Belfort admits that's why he won't fight in the states but Dana is still in denial.

What I got from the original interview (UOL) is that he hasn't tried to get the TUE anywhere else, and Kizer stated that he probably wouldn't be allowed one in Vegas. He said that if a title shot was given to him, he would stop the treatment for that fight, so he would fight legally anywhere and the AC wouldn't catch him doing something he isn't allowed to be doing there.

He states that his levels are a little bellow normal WITH TRT, and he does tests weekly. Without TRT his levels are too low (according to his doc).

Well according to my doc, I'm overweight, and do know what I say to that!, hold on, I'm out of breath.....D'OH!"

Below normal for what ? A 20 year old ? If he would have to stop to fight in the states, but only fights in Brazil where the commission doesn't give a s--- what he puts in his body then something isn't right. What he's saying is," the commissions in the US won't allow me to cheat, so to fight there I have to stop my TRT." Since I can't win without TRT I'll only fight in Brazil.

If anyone thinks a testosterone prescription is harder to get then a Medical Marijuana card your out of your mind. If these guys need drugs to be able to compete, they shouldn't be competing.

I know its easy to get the testosterone prescription.

What he is saying is that the AC in Vegas won't allow him the TUE because he was caught once. This one time haunts him ever since.
His doctor back then admited administring the drug to him without his concent, but many haters won't think that is enough to let it slide.

Below normal for avarege standards, the number flactuates, but he said it was lower than the avarege bloke, hence the need for TRT.

But that won't matter to you, since you think "If these guys need drugs to be able to compete, they shouldn't be competing".
I don't agree, and I think if he gets tested regularly and doesn't go above the standard limit, fair game.

We saw Ben get caught. Drysdale was caught just now, and Vitor has been doing this for 3 years and hasn't been caught yet. I give him the benefit of doubt, I know you won't, but thats ok, to each their own opinion

So he was using TRT when he fought Silva in Vegas, but he did not test positive for elevated testosterone for that fight. So, it is possible to use TRT without needing an exemption. That raises the question of why do so many other fighters need the exemption, when it is clearly possible to stay within normal levels with it?

This is where its a bit strange....
I know not all main fighters samples get tested, but usually the main event guys when a belt is on the line always are.
The test would have flagged regardless of his levels if he had a synthetic testosterone in him.
TUE means they are expecting to find synthetic test in the sample you have given but providing the level/ratio is satisfactory then its not an issue.

Either Vitor is bullshitting or his sample given at the silva fight wasnt tested. (or was but nothing was done about it)
